Arensman wins solo after UAE spends half the day chasing Roglic. Pogacar looked like he wanted the win… until he didn’t. Vingegaard finally outkicked him. And Roglic? Full tilt, full fade. Cyrus and Aidan dive into how Ineos found form just in time, how Lipowitz quietly locked down the podium, and whether Pogacar’s “let them win” energy is the real deal or just the legs catching up.
Also inside:
– Sticky bottles, shoulder checks, and why Martinez still has KOM
– Whether UAE’s loyalty to Wellens is blinding them tactically
– How Red Bull’s GC experiment ended with Roglic off the podium
– And a short Tour de France Femmes preview to close it out
